Didn't pay a lot for it. I wouldn't use it as a gage for current prices. Sent you a pm.

Read the article that you provided. Went ahead and got it. Thank you for the information.

Thank you Bruce. Will pass on this one.

Would like some information on this mold. Would it be ok to use in a S&W m36 Chiefs Special with a 2 1/2 barrel? Any idea on what a fair price would be to offer on this mold?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, the top is gone

Happy Easter. For your viewing pleasure.

Am reading Spencer Wolf's book on loading cartridges for the original 45-70 Springfield rifle. He recommends enlarging the flash hole to .096 diameter. Is it necessary/recommended to do this?

Where can I get a punch to cut wads?

Loading for a 45-70 trapdoor Springfield. Use a compression die to seat the blackpowder to the correct depth so the bullet doesn't have to. Is it necessary to use an over powder fiber wad?

It looks to be a 358429 that has been hollow-pointed; hence the designation 358439? Bullets weigh about 158 gr as cast.

Picked up my concealed handgun license from the sheriff last week. Decided to cast some bullets to celebrate. Pulled out this old Lyman mold that I picked up a few years back and gave it a try. ...
